Elfrid Payton

Nice stat Mel. Thought he looked tentative with the offensive decision making last night. Still played with great effort against a top 3 eastern team. Gotta make free throws EP!

Shooting wasn't there for him last night for sure. I loved his hustle at the end of the game when he they called a jump ball. I thought he took the ball away before the jump ball, of course I am a little bias. He makes great passes and if the Magic could shoot he would have had another 8 assists.

He looked a little discouraged at the end of the game last night. I know he is not use to losing and that will only make him work harder.

this brings in recruits...you can talk and show new buildings...but point to his career and say...we helped cultivate that type of talent...

Marlin touched on recruits mentioning Payton. Recruits know him well.. Payton does a great job of UL'ing often. Great ambassador. He will be our basketball version of Peanut Tillman. Great player and ever better person.

Son, do you see his hair? If you come here, you could have hair like that.

I haven't laughed out loud at a RP in a long time. I did on this one. Thanks, crazy man.

Just watched Elfrid get a huge steal in the last half minute to set up the tying points, then hit 2 clutch shots in overtime (including an 18 footer) to put the game out of reach.

I thought he couldn't shoot?

EP and Aaron Gordon are going to be an amazing pair.

Based on performance to date, NBA.com has Payton ranked as the second best rookie of the year candidate behind Jabari Parker.
